"The Wolf hunts. The Wolf feeds on its prey. But this... This is different."
In the isolated town of Ashford, something old is awake-and it has teeth.
A symbol, drawn in blood, violent visions, and an uncanny, terrifying supernatural entity.
Something hunts.
Something kills.
And it's coming for them... whether they're ready or not.
***
When Carlos Hernandez survives a brutal encounter in the woods, his life fractures overnight. Haunted by violent visions that feel more like memories than dreams, Carl begins to suspect that the monster stalking Ashford is tied to him in ways he doesn't yet understand. His body changes. His senses sharpen. And the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur.
Ashley knows more than she lets on. Raised in the shadow of the forest, she carries her own curse-and her own rules for survival. Training Carl means risking exposure, but leaving him ignorant could be fatal.
Somewhere beyond the town limits lives Jude, a reclusive werewolf with a forbidden ability and a connection to Ashley that could unravel everything if revealed.
As the Black Wolf's attacks grow bolder, Carl is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the monster terrorizing Ashford may not be his enemy, but his mirror. To stop it, he must uncover the town's buried history, accept what he is becoming, and decide how much of his humanity he is willing to lose.
A dark, atmospheric coming-of-age horror, The Mark blends small-town dread with supernatural mythology, exploring guilt, inheritance, and the violence we carry-whether we choose it or not.

The Outcast of the Moonlight Pack
Seth's expression was unyielding, his next words delivered with ruthless precision. "I, Seth Langston, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you, Ariah Lockwood, as my mate and as Luna of this pack. As Alpha, my word is law. I don't need your acceptance to sever this bond." I can't remember the last time I smiled-or even felt happy. My nightmare began the day I couldn't shift at ten years old, unlike everyone else in the pack. Since then, it's been an endless torment. Why am I the only one broken? Why must I suffer for something beyond my control? Why am I cast aside by those I thought were my family? But it's alright. Everything will be alright. Because I will be their downfall.
The Lycan King's Human Mate
"Stop," the beast growled in my ear. The sound vibrated through my entire body. I froze for a heartbeat from pure shock. He lowered his head beside mine, breath warm against my neck. His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently. "I'm human! I'm not meant for- for you!" His chest rumbled behind me, a low, frustrated sound. "You are meant for me," he said, lips brushing the shell of my ear. "Fate does not make mistakes."

Luna For Hire
After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.
